Just wondering if anyone's ever seen something like that:
I'm not talking about a "Black and White" themed rom, I'm talking about something more lower-level, kind of like how you can adjust the settings on a color TV set, and make EVERYTHING black/white/grayscale...all apps, widgets, video, i.e. EVERYTHING.
(I've noticed sometimes when I'm using a black and white keyboard, and am inside an app's interface that's also black/white (like this XDA app) that it's a REALLY clean look and would love the whole interface to be that way too. (Reversible, of course...)
Any ideas?
Would be cool. Never seen it as an option though

There was a feature in a rom for the Xperia x10 that allowed full control over stuff like that. It was a filter system but had an option to create your own filter. Never made it black and white but I'm sure it was possible. I'll boot up my old x10 later and check it out. But it was built into the rom. Not an app

There's an app on the market called color filter service that looks like what ur looking for. Its 99 cents though

Im pretty sure that is an option in CM for battery life and dev or something.

I just bought this, tried it, but refunded it.
It's cool, but essentially what it does is lays a rgb filter OVER everything, which you can adjust, but you can still see the original colors undneath, no matter what...
Thanks for the thought, though, I wish it could be that simple.

I remember something similar in CM, but I thing the choices were all colors, and didn't affect video, IIRC...But, it tells me that it probably can be done. I'm not on CM right now, but maybe I'll flash over just to make sure...

Video? Are you wanting to record in black and white? Or are you wanting the OS in black and white?

Not recording, no.
I truly want the entire OS in black and white: so, say when I pulled up the newest Avengers trailer in HD, I'd see The Hulk saving Ironman in its full, retro, grayscaled glory. (Maybe it's silly, but I think it'd look pretty cool.)
Anyone came up with an app for this?
I am not a fan of launchers running on top of any ROM and I read a lot about issues with apps and playstore after using LCD Density.
I currently switched from iPhone to Galaxy S3 and while the phone is great, icons are just not adequate to the screen.
There is an app called Bigify for iOS, is there anything at least similar for Android devices?
The main 3 options I am looking for:
1. change icon size
2. change angle of the icons by xy degrees (it looks fantastic!)
3. remove icon text
Here is a SS:
This actually would be very nice as it bothers me when the apps name is cut off because it's too long.. So being able to remove the text would be great!

Apex Launcher allows you to remove the app text or modify the title/icon. You cannot rotate it though.
Op running a different launcher has no actual problems
Say your using nova as default the phone won't have stock tw launched running in the background unless you open again

I am sorry but how are these answers to my question? As far as I am reading it correct I need to have a launcher and I cannot get a any angle and no name icons at the same time

It's what you asked for. They honestly helped you as much to their abilities.
That being said if you want angled apps look into making it yourself. I know that is not much of a answer you're looking but as of right now as far as I have seen there are no apps or mods to rotate apps.

There's one launcher that'll let you have the customization you want. It's rather expensive though.

Root your phone install a recovery and install paranoid android, google it, i think youll like it.
I got TFS Launcher and it runs great. I do have one question though.... Isn't there always a Launcher running over a rom? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to run any apps.

Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning

Seen this on android central feed, I like it a lot but my only gripe is the fact that the stock LS collapses it. I would love if it can stay "open" all the time instead of having to swipe down to see missed calls or texts. And the damn settings button always shows as well.

Works very well, i like it.
May be more options will be included in the next upgrades.
i'm using it as well, you should try battery ext from play store.

It uses Yahoo Weather, as stated, and apart from adding the extension it should just pick up your location. I didn't have to manually add it. Whether it is done by GPS or Mobile Network location, it just seemed to take for me.

This used to happen to me . Then i disabled the option to use home screen widgets in lock screen from my custom rom menu.
But now there is a new version from this app, that allows your homescreen widget to have full transparent background.
Yes i just updated recently, now how can i resize the overall icons and texts? They're so big... and i have to slide down to see the rest of the notifications.

I wish there was support for Whatsapp too.

There is one. Search for dashclock extensions on the play store.
I love the widget. Its fantastic. The only issue I've had is refresh time. I don't know if its there app or what, but I had a missed call yesterday morning. Even though I cleared the notification and even called them back it never went away from the widget. Hope he fixes it soon

Did you have a solution for this issue ? My LockScreen also take 2/3 from the Screen, so i cant see the full DashClock
Unless you have some sort of Lockscreen control built into the ROM, and enabled maximize lockscreen widgets or however it's worded, then there doesn't seem to be a way to force it to max size. Unless someone has found another method, which I am eagerly looking for.
I'm loving this, but the weather doesnt seem to show for me. Even tried defining a location in the default clock to see if it was connnected.
looks nice...

Hello community,
essentially PA COLORS is a .xml file that contains definitions for apps and its colors for navigation bar, -buttons, -glow, status bar and -icon. It can be applied within HYBRID PROPERTIES and colors every app defined.
The original one includes just a few apps. My interpretation of PA COLORS includes every system app of PA Rom, PA Gapps and some of the most common user apps.
The colors are picked precisely from apps or their icons by taking screenshots and catching hexcodes with a colorpicker on PC. My goal was to make a preset that works for all the different UIs + PIE! And it does :good:
So, if you are new to PA, you need some inspiration either what’s possible or not or you're just to lazy coloring apps on your own feel free to try my interpretation of PA COLORS. Let's start...
HowTo:
1) backup your PA preferences in hybrid properties
2) backup your existing 0_colors.xml in system/etc/paranoid/preferences by renaming it to 0_colors.xml.bak (use your favorite root explorer)
3) extract and copy my 0_colors.xml in the folder mentioned above
4) set permissions to rw-,r--,r--
5) apply (new) PA COLORS in Hybrid Props
6) reboot
Themed Apps:
see screenshots down below
Notes:
- settings for „size/layout“ and „extra“ don't get changed by PA Colors
- only colors of defined apps are getting changed the rest of your apps will stay as you set them
- some apps pick up colors from their host apk. e.g. phone/contacts or maps/local/navigation will always look the same
- play music gets the colors from android system (just to mention)
- you don’t like my colors: restore your pa prefs or delete/edit the corresponding lines in 0_colors.xml (use notepad++)
IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD IT,YOU CAN HIT THANKS :good:
regards
O
[size=+1]Due to the lastet style changes on PIE that comes with the build of May 26th my color preset doesn't work as intended if you use PIE! There is no individual color for the navbuttons of PIE! Now it is linked to the one of status icon color which is a mess IMHO![/size]
Great work thanks!!!

Glad you like it.
Will see where this thing will go. Depends on the community if I may ask which apps should be added?!If I do a poll for that?! Or if I just keep it up to date when apps getting updated and add the ones I like.
I'm open for suggestions.
Really loving it. This speed up the customize of the color... Only one question what do you use for setting well the color I used to screen shot the app and with an app catch the color in the screen, there's something to speed up the process? It's really annoying that pa doesn't have a hex color catcher in the pop-up... Maybe can be implemented later...

Had a look into it. It can't work due to the fact he messed up the file:
<setting type="Hybrid" target="com.google.android.keep.colors" value="FF585A5B|FFBBE535|FF75DDBB|FF585A5B|FFFFBB22"/>
<setting type="Hybrid" target="com.android.launcher.colors=4A000000|B2FFFFFF|FFFFFFFF|4A000000|FF33B5E5"/>
Click to expand...

He simply forgot to set up the values correctly. First line for 'Keep' is how it should look like the second misses the correct phrase " value=".
So, if you have time, add the correct phrases or use mine and add his colors for the additional apps.

I guess,I found a nice one for android system fitting play music
Used colors are the 3 at the top 3
Maybe switch status bar and status icon colors when not using pie..

android system should coloring every app thats not set with own values + lockscreen and app drawer. That's why I decided to leave it on default. Reboot is needed for the last two ones to get applied.
Ahh, that's why I didn't see another change..
I'll wait and decide
Have colored chrome too, if anyone wants the colors just ask.
It fits the colors of the icon -I just like that better than the boring greys

Maybe we could organize a bit to not have multiple work.
Like making an extendable list of apps and people who use them choose nice colors (it would only be important that it has a consistent look)
If one likes an app more colorful or not, he can change it manually (like in the chrome case)
